Thanks for the info, my Evo is part of my "stable" and therefore "investment" is limited by SWMBO.....so I'll have a go at some adjustments first of all.
In general I enjoy the Evo experience, great fun on the open and twisties, but the urban riding issues are disappointing , my mate has an early 1200 'Strada S which is a joy, OK it cost £14k, but I have to admit that I'm reluctant to throw to much money at a bike with factory designed "issues".
